Some interesting things came into light after interrogating the duo. When police questioned why the gangs from the north were committing such acts in Hyderabad, Cyberabad, Rachakonda? They replied that women in North India do not come out with gold jewelry and if they do it is seldom over a tola. But in South India, each chain they snatch weighs at least three tolas, they revealed. Secondly, in Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda language is no barrier, they are supposed to have told the cops. These places are linked to the highways with many lanes, and by- lanes, making it easy to escape, they are reported to have admitted.
